Flemington Race 3 - Anzac Day Stakes (L)
Looks a nice race for BLIND RAISE (1) who stamped himself as one to follow with an impressive maiden win at Sandown Lakeside, kept very warm in betting and coming right away to score by 2.25 lengths in good time. The bigger track here should suit beautifully and any further improvement sees him as the one to beat. SERAPHOX (2) was thought highly enough of to debut in a G2 Todman Stakes, outclassed there by Paradoxium before atoning with a solid maiden win last time. He can go on with it now. DRUMFIRE (3) steps up from 1100m having worked home well for second at Randwick Kensington last time out. Have to respect the Waterhouse & Bott yard here. PRIME PATTERN (5) has been thereabouts in all three runs to date and did start shorter than BLIND RAISE last time. Each-way. PROFLIGATE (9) won well enough on debut and can continue to improve.

Getting off the mark on debut; came from midfield and won by 2.25 len at Sandown-Lakeside 2yo Hcp April 6 over 1400m defeating Harry Met Sally with 56.5kg at $3.20. Looks very smart and can go right on with it.

At debut, set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 8 at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 2 over 1200m, slow going 1.2 len behind Profligate with 58kg at $6.50. Better for that with place claims.
